LANDBANK and Department of Tourism Push for Digitalised Tourism Payments

2 min read

The Landbank of the Philippines (LANDBANK) and the Department of Tourism (DOT) have expanded their partnership to digitalise payment systems and streamline procurement processes within the tourism sector.

In a signing ceremony held in January 2026, LANDBANK President and CEO Lynette V. Ortiz and Tourism Secretary Ma. Esperanza Christina C. Frasco formalised two agreements aimed at improving operational efficiency and transparency.

Under the new agreement, the DOT will adopt the LANDBANK Link.BizPortal.

This digital payment channel will allow tourism-related establishments and businesses to pay for accreditation, regulatory fees, penalties, and bidding documents online.

The system is designed to reduce the need for manual transactions and simplify administrative procedures.

Additionally, the DOT will implement the Government Purchase Card (GPC) Programme. The initial rollout will cover 16 Regional Directors across the country.

The GPC aims to expedite the procurement of essential goods and services while strengthening internal financial controls.

Secretary Frasco highlighted the alignment between the two institutions.

This collaboration marks a continued effort by the state-run bank to provide digital solutions that support government efficiency.

Both agencies indicated that leveraging technology remains a priority for driving sustainable growth in the Philippine tourism industry.

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?

The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple?

With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s.
